Shout when smash.. OK?

[Ah Wong]

When my friend smashes, he shouts like doing Karate chop.

[Winex West Can]

Although annoying, It's okay to do that but if your opponent does that when you are about to take your shot, then that's is not okay and is consider a forfeit. (Law 13.5)

[Byro-Nenium]

Yeah true, to me, if people want to shout, its fine with me, its irritating but so long they don't do it to deliberately distract me then i'm ok with it.

But to me, whenever i see someone shouting when they smash i ask them if they have constipation.

[marshall]

LOL! Good one, Byro. I'll remember that. Can't wait to use it.

[UkPlayer]

I wonder if anyone asked Morten Frost? This all time great sometimes used to let out a noise when smashing.

[Mikie]

I think it is worse when your opponent shouts AFTER the smash. :) In all meanings! :)

Recently I've played against a person I didn't know. We played a double game. So in a rally I smashed directly at him (his chest), he tried to return the shuttle, missed, then he droped his racket, rose his hands (one at the level of his eyes, another - to the chest level) and shouted sth like 'Oh, god'! Man, I was shoked, I couldn't even find words to explain that I'm sorry (I didn't even think that the smash wasn't hard at all and the shuttle couldn't do him any harm hitting like that). While I muttered apologises my partner calmly said: "Don't mind him - evrthng is ok with him - he always behave this way when missing birdies". His partner also said sth like this. Finally this guy stopped shouting and picked up his racket as if northing has happened.
Well, it's all very well with them - they played with him before and got used but personally I was a bit lost for a couple of minutes after that. Quite a nasty habit in certain circumstances I should say.

[Winex West Can]

:D
At least he didn't roll around on the ground (like soccer players) groaning and holding his chest. I guessed no one has ever told these guys that they are being overly dramatic and making themselves look like fools.

I remember a mens doubles match I saw quite a while back. One guy in particular had an "interesting" way of releasing his frustration at losing a point. He would throw his racket to the floor, get down on his knees and bang the floor while using a few choice words to describe his opponent. After a few seconds of venting, he would get up and continue as if nothing had happened. This was a Division 1 game in the Cardiff League (S. Wales). Not sure if it was a normal thing

I know a boy who is totally calm all the time during the game, he doesn´t even open his mouth or do anything with his face. But then if he loose a game he brake his raquet totally in thousand parts and sometimes he distroys even the shuttle.. I understand somway the shuttle but the raquet....huh... and sometimes he screams bad things... I can´t understand this kind of behaviour!!!

[TDotSmAsHer]

ugh... he broke his racquet?? .. it better of been a cheap one heh... imagine breaking mp-100s each time u loose.. lol

[Winex West Can]

Wow! That guy must be loaded or at least, his parents are. So, the question is how many racquets does he go through in a session (assuming that he gets to play more than a game)... :D

Whilst perusing the laws of badminton, I came across the following under Section 3 - "Recommendation to Umpires"

a) 3.8.2 A player shouting to a partner who is about to hit the shuttle should not necessarily be regarded as distracting the opponents. Calling 'no shot', 'fault', etc should be considered a distraction.

Does this mean that if you call "no shot" or "out" to your partner to let him/her know that the shot is going out is consider a fault?

and

b) 3.8.6 Law 13.6; a double hit by one player with one stroke is not a 'fault'.

I would assume that this means that if you hit the shuttle twice in the same stroke (swing) and got the shuttle over, it is considered good.

don tink its possible to hit the shuttle twice in one(same) stroke
probably thats y is not a 'fault'

[Marlboro]

oops didn't notice it was an old thread

ignore pls:D :D :D

[h3ytony]

Nope, I don't shout or grunt when hitting a smash, but once in a while when I'm trying to have fun and poke fun at people who do, I shout while doing a DROP. Hey, maybe it will trick them to expect a smash, and generally it brings a smile or laugh to whoever who is watching the game:p

And by the way, I'm new to these forums, hope i haven't done anything wrong.:)

/EDIT oh shoot i just noticed this is a really old thread =(

[drop_n_net]

actually, i've done it quite a few times... i dunno how???

[bad_fanatic]

I think that it's fine when you shout when you smash, it's farting when you smash that's big problem.

HAHAHAHA, well if you smash hard enough, hopefully no one wouldve heard it hahaha.

I know how that feels :D

No watermelon before games for me anymore =X

[Marlboro]

HAHAHAHA, well if you smash hard enough, hopefully no one wouldve heard it hahaha.

but your partner or opponnent would definently smell it:D

[modious]

but your partner or opponnent would definently smell it:D

Your partner should be used to it by then... :eek:

Maybe it can help to distract the opponents?? But it must really stink first though. :D

[cappy75]

Ever heard of the term "friendly fire"... your partner -- someone whom you're supposed to rely upon to fight off your opponents-- gets the full brunt of it just because you break wind:rolleyes:. Do show some consideration, at least guage the direction of the draft in the gym first before heading towards the net to release some 'frustration':p!

haha...yeah. agreed

[Alaric]

Farting when you smash isn't that bad. ;)

It's when you follow through, that the real problem!!!:eek:

[bad_fanatic]

I know this is kind of off topic, but when it happen to you guys, what kind of excuse to you guys give or how do you guys play it off?

Say that it was from the squek from the shoes?
It wasn't me?
I don't know what you're talking about?

What do you guys do?

This would be a great off-topic thread by itself :D I pass it off (excuse the pun) depending on how it sounded...

Anyways, shouting when smashing is alright, but it distracts me a little bit because sometimes spit comes out of their mouth and they leave their mouths open in a funny expression.

[baihaki_as]

i think shouting when smash it really help and sometimes it distrup the opponet concetration

[Aozora]

wow guys...farting during a smash...anything to give that smash the extra boost huh?

[Surreal]

For me , shouting when making a smash is no problem at all.
As a former taekwondo student , I was taught to shout out when doing a punch or kick to regulate breathing and for the extra power.
I find shouting out when smashing gives out the extra boost indeed.
As for farting while making a shot..Hahahaha ~ As Aozora said anything to give the extra boost! ;)

[asphyxiate]

I think its okay.. but then it sort of works as a tactic to throw people off when the person shouts but ends up doing a drop shot.. I've seen tons of people do that before..

[asiaexpat]

I dont shout when smashing but will grunt if have to reach down deep to return a dink or sort shot

[morewood]

People tend to shout when I smash but I let the sonic boom do it all for me.

Hmm.. never knew that. Got faulted during a tournament before for doing that.. I tapped the ball but somehow it touched the top part of my racquet face, then dropped to the middle of my racquet and then it went over the net. Made that sound you hear when slicing and was faulted. :cool:

[CWB001]

The law changed in May of this year and now says:

"13. FAULTS

It shall be a ‘fault’:

...

13.3 If in play, the shuttle:

...

13.3.7 is caught and held on the racket and then slung during the execution of a stroke;

13.3.8 is hit twice in succession by the same player. However, a shuttle hitting the head and the stringed area of the racket in one stroke shall not be a ‘fault’; ".

So a double hit is now a fault unless the shuttle hits the frame and strings in one stroke.
